For me, it's As The World Turns and Guiding Light. I also miss Another World.

The only one I ever really got into on the list was Guiding Light , so I picked that one. I used to watch Secret Storm with my Mom and Grandma when I was real young and was sad when it went off the air.

You could've also picked other. I should've mentioned that you can pick more than one.

Oh yeah, it was late last night when I voted/posted! I didn't notice the "other" choice!!

I voted for the Edge of Night. I loved that show. My runner-up would easily be "Dark Shadows", I almost voted "other" for DS but it was probably the least soapy soap. "Edge" was about 50% soap and 50% crime drama.

Bonniegirl · 01-31-2018, 03:28 PM

Oh yeah, add Dark Shadows to my list!

Guiding Light

Another World (taped that for years!) and Dark Shadows.

Willbo · 01-31-2018, 07:16 PM

Loved Dark Shadows. Another World was good also.

Dallas is a primetime drama, not a soap opera. Soap operas are shows that air 5 days a week with a storyline lasting weeks, months, and years.

One soap, besides the obvious All My Children, I miss is Spyder Games from MTV. That one was pretty good. It had a few actors from Sunset Beach in it. I was bummed when MTV canceled it so soon after its initial 13 week start.

Who here remembers Dark Shadows??

It was before my time in the 60s but I heard someone talk about it on the radio & she said there's never been a soap opera like it before or since because it's a soap with spooky undertones.

Anyone know about it or seen it?
